I just checked and CM9000 had 65 different combinations of 2D boards and pieces that were available (and 323 combinations of Fixed View sets and 986 combinations of True 3D sets). It appears that CMX000 will only have five 2D sets, twenty-seven non-animated 3D sets and three animated 3D sets??? From almost 1400 combinations down to 35???Very strange design decision, if you ask me. I hope it isn't true.... jm
